Uh, the way browsers do it is just like the way robots.txt works. They do a GET on "/favicon.ico", hardwired path, and (at least some of them) just silently ignore it if it's not 16x16. This sucks (just like /robots.txt sucks) because if you have multiple "sites" on the same host you're hosed. This is *not* just an RSS/syndication problem, it's bigger, and I don't think we own it.
Can you outline the problem[s] that having a icon link tag in the feed might cause? HTML already has a meta tag for it, so it seems like a simple feature-parity issue.
